Martyrs - 2008

Brutally abused, imprisoned, and traumatised since childhood, young Lucie escapes from her captors and befriends Anna, another injured soul abandoned in the orphanage. Nearly 15 painful years later, haunted by horrible visions of an emaciated creature, Lucie grabs a powerful, double-barrelled shotgun and decimates an entire family, convinced that she has finally found her fiendish tormentors. But no one knows if this grotesque female entity is genuine or a figment of disturbed Lucie's morbid imagination. As the dead family's secret remains hidden, eerily persistent questions demand answers, and Anna learns first-hand that some horrors require transcendence before enlightenment and salvation. Is Anna destined to be a glorious martyr?
